16 March – Water Management in development of Blue Green Cities
The Concept of Sponge Cities in China aims at managing excessive amounts of surface water, often causing severe and costly floods, by turning these water resources into urban development assets as part of an overall blue-green profile of the Future City. The webinar will explore the perspectives of Sponge City approach to constitute a key element of urban development, present concrete cases, discuss cross-sector elements including other urban functionalities, participatory approaches and relation to the concept of Smart Cities. Technology cases will focus on nature-based solutions in an urban setting and water retention.

30 March – Efficiency of Urban Water Infrastructure
Management of the Urban Water Infrastructure should ideally reflect the cyclic nature of water, however it is often subdivided among different entities. This may hamper an overall cost-efficient approach to ensuring of sustainable water resources provision, wastewater treatment and flood prevention measures. By applying a cross-sector, e.g. investments in reduction of water leakage can be compared to increasing reuse of treated wastewater and long-distance supply chains for water resources. What will hereby appear as the most cost-beneficiary investment in infrastructure?

29 April – Smart Water managing the whole Urban Water Cycle
Smart Water Management implies a substantial upgrading of Water Quality and Water Quantity Data Collection from a large number of sample points. Compared to previous analogue or semi-digitalized monitoring systems, a fully digitalized Water Grid will provide a significantly improved picture. This raises a number of questions: When can we expect to have sensors capable of monitoring all water quality parameters? How many sensors will be sufficient to provide an adequate amount of data? How to compile, store and ensure quality assurance of data from many different sources? How to handle sharing of data? And, not, least how to develop software for utilizing the data for modelling, scenarios, public planning and implementation of investment projects? And how to use digitalization for Asset Management?

18 May – Carbon Footprint of the Water Sector
China and EU have set ambitious targets for achieving energy efficiency and carbon neutrality. The Water Sector must contribute. How to reduce the sector’s carbon footprint? Which solutions are available for energy efficient water resources provision? How to ensure net-energy producing wastewater treatment plants? How to reduce NO-emissions for WWTPs? How to integrate wastewater treatment in resource recovery plants?
